MOM'S CARAMEL CORN & LET'S TALK

Whoop Whoop, ready for inspiration inside the kitchen galore with this month's recipe sharing theme for Let's Talk with Momfessionals Andrea and Erika! Not only do I have "The" recipe for the delicious caramel corn that my sweet mama so graciously decided to share with you little pretties but also a couple requested memorable recipes on 
this all fine Fall Day!!!! 
Yum  


A week ago Friday, in my Friday Favorites, I told you how it is tradition that every year my mom makes her fantabulous caramel corn and I hoard and hide it as to indulge in it all my myself. She makes it in fairly small batches and that is what makes it so fresh, crisp and never sticky. Kids, I have been known to eat the whole container full in one setting. Husband caught onto me this year...sorry babe.


 When I see this container in the Fall, I know what is inside!!!!!

Ya know, that is what I love about recipes, especially in the Fall and Cold months, there is just so much darn love that goes into them and I feel it makes them extra good.

So besides having the honor of sharing Mom's Caramel Corn Recipe with you today, I'll share a couple more from posts past that have sweet sentimental meaning behind them. They are also two that would work stupendously for your Thanksgiving get togethers coming up in gasp...3 1/2 weeks!! 


What you'll need for the Caramel Corn

MOM'S CARAMEL CORN
INGREDIENTS
3 1/2 quart (14 cups) unsalted popped corn
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1 stick butter
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup and butter in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the baking soda and the vanilla. Stir until very foamy. Put the popcorn that has been popped in a roaster or very large pan. Pour the syrup mixture over the popcorn and stir until coated. Bake for 45 minutes total, stirring well after every 15 minutes. Dump onto waxed or parchment paper to cool. Store in an airtight container.

SWEET POTATO CRISP CASSEROLE


Do you all have a requested Thanksgiving dish? The one you bring or make for every Thanksgiving dinner. Mine has always been this fabulous Sweet Potato Crisp Casserole! Have you ever had this from Ruth Chris Steakhouse? This recipe is identical and even better heated up with leftovers. We eat it with the main meal in a little serving dish but so good as a dessert too. I love sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top but this recipe is a MUST for our Thanksgiving meal. 
Yum

Best part is, this is so easy to whip together. I even make the topping ahead of time so it's ready to go. If you buy the canned sweet potatoes or yams, it really saves on time and I actually like it better with the canned variety.


SWEET POTATO CRISP CASSEROLE

INGREDIENTS
TOPPING:
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1 cup chopped pecans or pecan pieces
1/2 cup butter, melted

3 cups mashed sweet potatoes or 1 (40 oz) can, drained & mashed
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, well beaten
1/4 cup butter, melted

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine melted butter, flour, pecans and brown sugar in a bowl with a fork and set aside. In large bowl, mash sweet potatoes with a mixer. Add sugar, salt, vanilla, eggs and melted butter. Beat until well mixed and pour into a buttered 2qt casserole dish. Evenly spread the topping. Bake for 30 minutes and allow to stand/cool another 30 minutes before serving.



 So good friends, so good!!
